I Ride: CBR 1000 RR

Waldo you need to stay off all those porn sites. This bikes styling and color scheme would fit well in my garage...

Little insight: How can this be 7,000 and a new CRF be 8,440...Just doesnt seem right. Seems that the 700 should be more right?

I Ride: The Armageddon, Orange Crush

Very nice. Having spent so many years on sportbikes, it was quite a revelation getting the adventure bike. I had missed out on quite a few of the more pleasurable aspects of motorcycling that I had ignorantly discounted. The ability to ride on every road being the most glaringly obvious.

I Ride: 83 and 84 Honda Ascot's and 91 CBR600F2

This is the first I have seen of this one, and to be honest, I am not impressed! Honda should be getting into the Adventure Bike scene with something real! This thing has cast wheels, and a parallel twin? C'mon Honda! do the Varadero in the US with the RC51 VTwin!
I am sick of seeing the Europeans getting the cool stuff!

Yeah, but how does it handle on ice. I found out that Harley's don't!
